Montana Patent of the Month – November 2024
MYSTERY RANCH has once again set the bar for innovation with its universal adjustable holster device, designed to provide unmatched versatility and functionality for users needing to carry and secure items of varying sizes. Whether for first responders, outdoor enthusiasts, or everyday users, this holster offers a sleek and efficient solution to an age-old problem: how to carry different-sized objects securely without switching devices.
At the heart of the invention is a fully adjustable cradle system, defined by a series of flexible panels and an intuitive fastener mechanism. The intermediate and back panels work in harmony, with a unique hook-and-loop fastening system allowing for precise height adjustments. This ensures that the cradle can snugly conform to items of different sizes, offering both secure retention and easy access. For added convenience, an adjuster sheet can be inserted to temporarily disengage the fastener, enabling seamless repositioning of the panels.
The holster also features lateral flex lines for enhanced adaptability and side panels that can be adjusted to fine-tune the cradle’s depth. These overlapping side panels, secured by additional fasteners, ensure the holster adapts to various shapes while maintaining its structural integrity. Visible alignment markers further simplify adjustments, making configuration quick and intuitive.
Crafted for rugged durability, the holster is designed to integrate seamlessly with other gear, such as backpacks, belts, or tactical vests. By eliminating the need for multiple holsters, MYSTERY RANCH’s solution saves users time and effort, allowing them to focus on the task at hand.
This breakthrough in modular carrying technology exemplifies MYSTERY RANCH’s commitment to innovation, practicality, and performance. With its adaptable design, the adjustable holster is poised to become an essential tool for anyone seeking efficiency and reliability in their gear.

What is the R&D Tax Credit?
The Research & Experimentation Tax Credit (or R&D Tax Credit), is a general business tax credit under Internal Revenue Code section 41 for companies that incur research and development (R&D) costs in the United States. The credits are a tax incentive for performing qualified research in the United States, resulting in a credit to a tax return. For the first three years of R&D claims, 6% of the total qualified research expenses (QRE) form the gross credit. In the 4th year of claims and beyond, a base amount is calculated, and an adjusted expense line is multiplied times 14%. Click here to learn more.
